The death of Yoshikawa Gomon has been investigated for some time.

But I checked and searched, but I didn't find anything.

On the contrary, many rooms in the New Asia Hotel have been converted into temporary interrogation rooms.

It is said that in these interrogation rooms, there are endless screams from morning to night.

But the truth?

There is no truth.

Thankfully, there is finally a scapegoat, Hisaaki Inoue.

However, there is a more pressing problem in front of the Japanese secret services:

A special envoy sent by the higher authorities to investigate the matter is about to arrive in Shanghai.

"In my opinion, His Excellency the Special Envoy should be received by the Army Agency."

At an impromptu meeting, as the head of the army's intelligence agency in Shanghai, Matsumoto Hitoshi Daisachi said this as soon as he opened his mouth.

It's understandable when Hitotsugu Matsumoto said that.

Whoever can stay with the envoy for a long time and get in touch with it first can put himself in an advantageous position.

Get rid of responsibility as much as possible.

The head of the naval intelligence agency, who is also one of the "Three Tigers of the Empire", Gu Fanyuan Dao Dazuo sneered: "Army? Do you want to arrange Mr. Special Envoy in the Public Concession? Here, do you think you have what it takes to keep Mr. Special Envoy safe? ”

The participants looked at each other.

Why is the dignified public concession now a dangerous place?

Matsumoto Renji did not show weakness, and ridiculed each other: "Is it safe to arrange it in Hongkou?" Or do you want to arrange him at the New Asia Hotel? ”

Gu Fanyuan Dao suddenly showed displeasure: "Matsumoto-kun, what do you mean by this?" ”

The Japanese army and navy have accumulated grievances, and Matsumoto Renji did not take Gu Fanyuan Road in his eyes at all: "I mean, Your Excellency Yoshikawa is safe and sound in the public concession, but when he goes to Hongkou, he is loyal to His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"You!"

Gu Fanyuan Dao was furious.

"Alright, let's stop arguing." The Japanese Consul General in Shanghai, military attache Hirosawa Haemitsu, hurriedly became a peacemaker: "The tragedy has happened, and what we need now is not to argue, but how to properly handle it, and if we receive Your Excellency the Special Envoy safely." ”

Since the death of one of Akagi's relatives, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs' spy power in Shanghai has been sharply reduced, and it has also lacked the strength to compete with the army and navy secret services.

Seeing that the two of them were still unconvinced, Habara Koichi hurriedly said: "Your Excellency Gu Fan, Your Excellency Matsumoto, I have a suggestion. ”

"Say."

"Neither side can escape responsibility for the death of Yoshikawa Gomon, and if the situation is still the same after Mr. Special Envoy arrives, I think it will be very unfavorable to both of us."

Matsumoto Renji and Gu Fanyuan snorted coldly at the same time.

Koichi Hawara continued, "Now, the main responsibility lies with Inoue Hisaaki, and I think that the two Great Ministers should work together to make the investigation of His Excellency the Special Envoy as successful as possible. ”

He was vaguely reminding the two of them that with a scapegoat as good as Inoue Hisaaki, if the two sides continued to argue, they would only lose at that time.

Although Matsumoto Rentsugu and Tani Shigahara were not convinced by each other, it was about each other's responsibilities and their respective futures, so they no longer continued to argue.

"If there is any accident this time, I don't know what kind of responsibility we will bear, but we will definitely become a joke."

Koichi Habara reminded him in particular: "So I suggest that the two sides set up a joint team to be jointly responsible for the reception of Mr. Special Envoy." ”

It's not a perfect outcome for both sides, but it's the only way to do it in the current situation.

Everyone spies on each other, and in the event of an accident, no one wants to run away.

Kojiro Kawamoto, who had been listening, sighed in his heart.

Shanghai.

How did Shanghai become like this?

A Meng Shaoyuan made the Japanese spy agencies jump like they were walking on thin ice.

Was this Shanghai occupied by the Japanese Empire?

Whose Shanghai is this?

"Regarding the matter of the joint group, I hope Matsumoto-kun and Gu Fan-jun can discuss it carefully." Hirosawa Boman then said: "Now, there is still an important task. Thanks to the efforts of my Yunnan agents, Hou Qunfeng, the nephew of Qu Huanzhang, a famous businessman in China, will soon be in Shanghai, and he will be accompanied by Xin Zhuangwen, the beloved son of Xin Biquan, the commander of the Yunnan Army. ”

Matsumoto Renji and Tani Shigenhara have no interface.

This is a matter for your Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Guangze Boman also knew what they were thinking, and said stubbornly: "The Yunnan army is about to arrive in Xuzhou, Hou Qunfeng is a very important part of our plan, once it goes smoothly according to the plan, it will cause a serious blow to the morale of the Yunnan army in China, so the Ministry of Foreign Affairs desperately hopes to get your assistance." ”

"Of course, the Foreign Ministry's business is our business."

Matsumoto Hitoji was the first to speak: "However, my intelligence agency has a lot of affairs, and it is said that Meng Shaoyuan is carrying out a big operation against my organization, and I can't be distracted at the moment. ”

If Meng Shaoyuan knew that he had actually become a shield for the Japanese, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"There is no distinction between the Navy, the Army, or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

Gu Fanyuan also said: "Everyone is working hard for the holy war of the empire. However, Hirosawa-kun, His Excellency Yoshikawa was assassinated at the New Asia Hotel, and another spy of the Shina person absconded, and I am stepping up to solve the case, and I can't mobilize my strength at all. ”

Hirosawa Boman's anger is called.

It's all about making excuses there.

Hikaru Habara smiled bitterly in his heart.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs became a soft persimmon after the death of Akagikin.

The army and navy did not take them seriously at all.

This Hou Qunfeng is important, but to protect him, he will inevitably have to face the military commander.

In case something happens again, the credit is not not said, but it will cause a commotion.

Who wants to take this hot potato?

Hirosawa Boman endured his displeasure: "The strength of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is seriously insufficient, Matsumoto-kun, Gu Fan-kun, please help no matter what." ”

"Of course I want to help."

Gu Fanyuan said with a sad face: "But my situation is not optimistic." The consulate is in the public concession, and I think that Matsumoto-kun is obligated to do this. ”

Matsumoto was furious.

What does it mean to be obligatory?

You don't have the responsibility anymore, what about yourself?

I was about to find an excuse to refuse, when I suddenly heard Kojiro Kawamoto say, "Your Excellency Osa, please send me to assist Your Excellency." ”

A sucker.

The idiot of Tianzi No. 1!

Isn't that a beauty difference?

But his subordinates had already said so, and Matsumoto Renji could only bite the bullet and say, "Since Kawamoto took the initiative to ask for it, then I agreed." ”

"Please ask Your Excellency Dazuo to allocate another batch of my manpower."

Matsumoto Hitoshi thought for a moment and said, "Yes, even though the situation is so difficult, I will still transfer three of your subordinates." ”

How much?

Kojiro Kawamoto wondered if he had misheard.

Is there a total of four people including yourself?

Want to face the big tiger Meng Shaoyuan?

Now, the only thing Kawamoto Kojiro can pray for is that the big tiger Meng Shaoyuan has no interest in Hou Qunfeng!
